Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Geodis Park!
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York City FC that had 289 games and scored 459 goals.
- 10' It looks surprising New York City FC does not make any changes. Mitja Ilenic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 20' Sam Surridge has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 4 goals this season.
- 23' Tyler Boyd makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Nashville SC are in front.
- 25' The referee calls foul for Santiago Rodriguez. He receives a card.
- 30' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 40' USA international Andres Perea has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
- 45' New York City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 50' New York City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 50.
- 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 59' Jovan Mijatovic gets the nod from New York City FC. He replaces Monsef Bakrar and will look to change the dynamic.
- 60' Time for substitution for New York City FC. Mitja Ilenic is replaced by Tayvon Gray.
- 65' Joe Willis has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 70' Maxi Moralez is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Nashville SC so far.
- 72' The New York City FC manager makes a substitution. Keaton Parks departs to be replaced by Andres Perea.
